Thank you very much.
Ms. Sali, I'm going to read a comment made by your executive director. I'm going to read the quote in English as I don't have it in French. It reads as follows:
...this legislation, while welcome, does almost nothing to tackle the serious problem of ongoing government surveillance against law-abiding Canadians.
Since we are studying the bill before second reading, we have the ability to propose amendments to PIPEDA that don't necessarily appear in Bill S-4. I see that as a golden opportunity. Unfortunately, the government seems convinced that the bill is going to pass as is, regardless of the amendments suggested by all the witnesses. That's truly unfortunate.
In light of your executive director's comments, do you think the committee could improve certain aspects of the bill?
